The inhabitants of San Jaan have commenced re- building their town, but most of the inflential men have left for other places. The greatest excitement existed at Kingston relative to the destroying of Greytown, and it was reported that the English and French aijmirals had each sent a frigate in pursuit of the Cyane. A steamer had been despatched to Halifax with the inte!l gence. The Cyane left Grey‘own on the 18th alt. for Pen- }savcla, via Navy Bay. Immediately afer her de | pariaee Commander Jolley, of tho British brig Ber- muda, prociaimed the town under martial law, and Postmaster at Norfolk. Ap- | P| established a blockade of the port. The English | ship-of-war Espiegle holds Puuta Arenas, and her commander says the point isa part of San Juan, | and ho will hold it as security until something can | be arranged between the two governments. Alto- | gether, a lively state of things is likely to grow out of the Greytown exploit. The Star of tho West left in the port of San Juan the English mail steamer Teviot; the English brig- ofwar Espeigie, sent from Jamaica with relief for the citizens of San Juan; the surveying cutter Ber- mouda, schooner Liberty, and an American schoon- er, name not ascertained.

Prince Gortachakoff has already yet concentrated some 140,000 men there, and detach. ments drop in daily: to increase his number. There has been some serious outpost skirmishing. The Tork are entrenching themselves at Giurgevo on the Wallachien side, whilat a jeint Anglo-French diyiston garrisons Rutechuk on the right bank. The repert that somo of the allies were engaged in the alluir at Giargevo is not true. The allied forces of the army in Turkey have not yet fired a shot. All the fighting of the allies has been confined to the navy. The Sulina month is now clear; Captain Hyde Parker, son of the Admiral and captain ofthe Firebrand, one of the vessels employed to destroy the Russian batteries at the Sulina mouth, was shot through the heart whilst thus cmployed. He was @ gallant young officer. The Austriane have not yet entered the Danubian principalities; they have assembled in large force on the frontier ready to etter at a moment's notice. ‘To read the Vienna journals, the eemi-offloial Lloyd for instance, or the more official Austrian cor- reapondence, there seems no doabt that Anstria will ultimately keep faith to the treaty cign- ed_.on. the “14th June with Turkey, by. which she binds herself to clear the priacipalities of the Russians if they do not voluntarily retire— Now, # reasonable man would fancy that the con- centration by Prince Gortschakoff of betwoenl00,000 and 200,000 fighting men in Wallachia, not to speak ofa recent proclamation issued by him, in which the Emperor Nicholas is styled “ Protector of the Principalities,” was proof enough that the Czar by uo means intends to leave the said pro virces. But Austria is bard of persuasion, and still hopes the Czar will agree to go. She has discov- ered germs of negotiation in the Czar's reply. Cab- inet councils aro held daily at Vienna; Licut. Colo- nel Mantenffel, the Prussian plenipotentiary, is closeted daily with Count Buel, and have their inter- views with the young Emperor, whilst at Berlin the King converses with his minister of police, Hinckely, to test public opinion at tho Prascian capitol ; and all these talkings and meetings enable Russia to advance fresh troops, allow the short days to come on, and inva‘nable time is lost. If the de feat of Soimonoff at Giurgevo the other day had been followed up by an advance of the allied troops, Bucharest would have fallen, and the Muscovites would have at last been swept clear out of Walla- chia, though they might have rallied at Jassy, in Molcavia. The forbearance and courtesy displayed by the Aberdeen cabinet towerds Ressia, is re- markable. Last night the vote for three millions sterling for war expenses, was brought forward in Parliament. As a proof of how popular the war is, the vote was agreed to without scarcely any opposition. The conduct of the government did not, however, e+ cape criticlem. Ttis clear from this debate in Parliament, that whether Austria and ‘Prussia joins the Western powers or not,the Fmperorfof Russia will be treated as an enemy till he granta such termsas will sure the Tarkish Empire from a future aggression a la Menschikoff. The arrival of the French expeditionary forze to the Baltic has been telegraphed off Copenhagen. General Baraguay d’Hillicrs and staff had arrived at the Danish capital. We may shortly expect to hear of an attack and occupation of the Aland Island. 3 Two more Russian generals have been killed on the Dannbe. ‘The insurrection In Spain has triumphed.

He, however, soon found himself a small sized lion, paraded before a curios public, in a wonderous way. Io a word, the faaiion able world of London were informed by the Post, the fashionable recorder of all fashionable follies, that no lees a distinguished individual than the Hon. John Van Buren, aon of President Van Buren, had arrived in the city. Qf course Prince John was now nothing less than a pince to the fashionable world, an American nabob, s.ion of the real Kin derhook sovereign. Oards, liveries, ladies and flunkies beeet the Queen’s most lavishly. Fiunky- fam fluttered in its very best, the Prince was a won derovs great man, wondrously admired by the fashion mongers of this stagnant vortex of livery- dom. Qne morning, as our Prince eat, beemothored with comforts, reading the many notices of his dw- tinguished arrival, a flucky suddenly made his ap- pearance, and, with biuntness : “If you please, your honor!” handed him the card of Major A. H. Sib- ley. “ Show bim up,” said our hero—with a slight motion of his delicate hand, as he, in his rich morn- ing gown apd costly embroidered slippers, half re- clined on the luxu:iant couch—“ showhim up.” In another minute the formidable figure of the Major, the gentleman from Ualifornia, presented tseif inthe doorway. The stranger, for such he was,took thelux- uriating prince by surprise; and weil he might, for euch an uncompromising visage, so smothered with Dlackest hair, such dark, piercing eyes flashing irre- sistible vengeance, and such unmeasured scowis, he néver before bad encountered in the latitude of London. The Prince rose moet graciously, motioned his visitor to a seat, and displayed great nervousness as the stranger introduced himself and presented him a letter. The letter purported to be from Mr. Dauiel E. |* Sickles, demanding an explanation and apology for certain larguage reiterated by.the said prince, in ‘Tammany Hall, tbrough the dirt of which both had been a dogen times dragged. The prince hesitated, read and re-read the note, scratched his head, and for a time seemed to be ‘questioning the motive of the sender. It was no use, however, something must-be done. Tammany Hall had pronounced the prircipsl some pluck, and his friend, the formidable gentleman from California, himself enough to pro- duce a deep impression on a man of weak nerves, bad eworn to stand by until all the hair was off his face Mr. George Sanders could not have done more. At length, after much hesitation and some quib ling, which, taken legelly, might not have been ob jectionable, the prince fairly backed down--such is the opinion here—by stating in writing, that ho had no intention of using the language (originally used by @ negro) as applicable to him (Sickles); that his purpose was to relate the course taken by Mr. Down ing (negro) and those who acted with bim in what had years before been reported to be their own language, without at all endorsing its truth or pro priety. Thus, with many courteous considerations, @ gteat many bows, and numerous very cordial in- terchanges of distioghished regard on both sides, they shook hands as goed friends do shake at times, and the gentleman from California took his depa:- ture, leaving the prince to his more contemplative recreation. The gentleman from California, whose uncompro- wising visage had worn large frowns and most fero- cious beard, became a smiling image, touched with wondrous success. He had, indeed, gained a victory for his principal, a victory over a prince whom he had left in hopeful disquietude. He sought the presence of his principal with quickest pace; albeit that fanctionary in the pleni- tude of his bravery, and in the ecstacy of victory aiready gained, had one more demand. The prince must consent to tho correspondence heicg publish- ed, that the old Tammany democracy may know the gist of the thing. Back the formidable gentle man must go, wearing the same savagarous beard and scowls. He confronts the prince most graceful, ly; that distinguished individual has made his toilet —not the neatest, by the way--and is about to take a drive with my Lady Montyfleur, whose gaily capa- risoned carriage waits at the door. He-will attend the farther consideration of this most strance col- lateral request on his return. He is informed by the gentleman from California, affecting great dignity of bearing, that such will not be in accordance with the code, nor the rules of etiquette. This, we may add, might be questioned, especially if the rule ad- bered to in South Carolina were taken for example. The position, as will be seen, was one nosane man could envy. What was the sagacious politician to do? In such a state of tribulation his little antago- nist, N. P. Willis, might have found something to feed upon. The prince gave his assent, relactantly however, to the publication ; and thus ended the trite pedantry of this inharmonisus farce. Farce indeed it was,diplomatic and genially harm- lese. The beauty of the plot, however, turned upon the fact of their not being a foot of fighting ground in this realm. Had the prince considered this very casential point, he might, with all honor to himself, have saved his condescensions. Had there been fighting ground at hand, with a Dogberry thrown in, how rich im humor would have been the whole affair. As it was, it but needed George Sanders as the prince’s second, and our venerable and conser. vative minister as a looker on, to add a pleasing as pect to the whole affair. The laurels gained would long have been worn,and many a happy recollection of its amusing details served to relieve the mind in coming time. But our unt tician has retarned from his drive, and finds of another charactor awaiting him—s gentleman who, full of good will and philanthropy, and fully appreciating our poli- tician’s anti-slavery principles, kindness of heart, and genial fellowship, has come to invite him to be present at-the great anti-slavery convention to be holden at Manchester on the first of Angust. At this prodigious convention the ail-important suliject of diasolving the American Union is the principal @ae for discuasion; and with such master minds as Those of W. Wells Brown, (colored,) Thompson, Pilsbury, and others of like profundity, the stranger assured our political lion that with his presence and profound knowledge on the subject of emanct- pation, the voice of that convention conld not fai) to go forth, making the very Union tremble, or the chains fall frem every slave. What distinguished considerations passed between the two gentlemen we are left to conjectaro.
